One of the perks of being a foreign language teacher is having the opportunity to accompany students abroad. It is such a joy to see them experience a plane ride for the first time, riding the subway, a new language (German and Italian, as well as French and Spanish), new cultures, new cuisines, and especially communicating in the language they've studied. Mrs. Judy Dorezas and I have been traveling to Europe since 1990 and have visited England, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. We have also ventured up north to Quebec. Here are some photos of a few of our trips. I hope you enjoy them.
